Noront Resources Amends Shareholder Rights Plan

Noront Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NOT) ("Noront" or theĀ "Company") announces that it has amended the shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") previously adopted on May 26, 2021.

The Rights Plan as amended (the "Amended Rights Plan") is designed to ensure that all Noront shareholders are treated fairly in connection with any take-over bid and to protect against "creeping bids" for the outstanding common shares of Noront (theĀ "Common Shares") through purchases exempt from applicable take-over bid rules.

Specifically, the Amended Rights Plan has been amended to specify that a special meeting of shareholders of Noront to ratify the Amended Rights Plan shall be held on or before May 26, 2022 (the "Meeting").

While the Amended Rights Plan is effective as of November 26, 2021, it is subject to ratification by Noront's shareholders and is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. If the Amended Rights Plan is not ratified by Noront's shareholders at the Meeting, the Amended Rights Plan will terminate and all rights issued thereunder will be cancelled. A complete copy of the Amended Rights Plan will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Noront's issuer profile.

Nickel Price Update: Q3 2024 in Review

Nickel saw solid price momentum in the first half of the year, benefiting from investor sentiment and speculation across commodity markets that saw surge in prices for both precious and base metals.

However, price highs were short-lived as nickel supply and demand fundamentals provided pressures that saw steep declines.

Among the influences has been a supply of laterite nickel flooding the market out of Indonesia, which is a contributing factor to mine curtailments in New Caledonia, Australia, and Europe. Meanwhile, high demand for battery production in China has yet to reach levels to make up for the oversupply in the market.
